All right, I've got a question.
What the dingiddy-dang does "Shuffle/Ball/Change" refer to? Yes, I've read the notes, and I even tried looking it up on-line, but this time, BK, you've got me stumped!
Some questions about Anastais Affaire originally released on Bay Cities.
1) What were your memories about recording The Annastsia Affaire?
2) Why were only two pianos used?
3) What do you think of Wright and Forrrest as "original" composer versus their "based on themes" works?
4) In the photo below: Is Albin Knopka (One of the pianist and the musical director) the gentleman of the far left or far right? And who is the other person.
I co-created a sitcom that ran for 7 years, and I left it after the first year. (Didn't like where it was going.) But for six years after that, I'd see my name right up there any Wednesday night (I actually don't remember the night) that I'd care to tune in. And I couldn't have told you anything about the show if my life depended on it.
The creators don't even have to be on staff, they still get their credits.
What the heck is a "Best Boy" that's sometimes listed in credits?Where is DR TCB when we need him? ;D ::) 8)

Was this a school title, or ...
..and, Oh! My! TWICE! You WERE a good boy, weren't you...!!!

Must get back to work.. But HOW could I leave out AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER (the Cary Grant-Deborah Kerr version, of course). Bring on the buckets.
But, you must understand, even the "based on" gets manipulated for story purposes.
He (or she) is the assistant to the main electrician (gaffer) or lighting person. 8)
Maya: Yes, start on Kritzer Time. By the time of LIBIII I had no problem calling composers or publishers about cut songs. Everyone had loved the first two volumes, so doors were pretty much open. Selecting was easy: I had to like the song, or, had to find it at least historically interesting. For example, the cut song Waiting from The King and I is fairly awful, but very interesting historically, so I included it. But some of these cut songs, as I've said many times, were/are as good or better as what ended up in the actual scores.

"The late Claudia Cassidy --- probably the best Chicago drama & dance critic ever --- suggested that whenever Miss Verdon cut a song in the National tour of REDHEAD that she played in Chicago, audience members should request a refund of 3% of the ticket price per song, as each song represented about 3% of the show's running time.
"Pink Taffeta Sample Size 10" was cut because Miss Verdon did not want to sing another solo. If fact, once a show was open (at least in REDHEAD & SWEET CHARITY) she often cut a couple of songs at some performances depending on her mood.

Yea, DARK VICTORY still gets me.
TCB if Anacin commercials make you cry, what do Hallmark commercials do to you? :D
Oh, I can't watch those. I just change the channel.
...And this may seem silly, but that first glorious shot of THE SOUND OF MUSIC is guaranteed to turn me into a blubbering mess.
Whoops, sorry. That is what happens when you don't keep up on the posts.
P.S.
"The Secret Garden" arrived today, BK. It looks lovely!
Michael Rupert is a great guy and we've always had a good time working together. He can really deliver whatever you ask of him. I, too, saw him in The Happy Time and enjoyed him, and he was an excellent Pippin. My only complaint about Michael was his inability to focus on doing a solo album. We talked about it many times, he agreed many times, but he just couldn't focus. Someone else (another producer) e-mailed me and said HE was going to do a solo album with Michael. I rolled my eyes and said, "Good luck." Needless to say, the album doesn't exist.
The most exciting thing I have to post is that, at the moment, I'm making cabbage rolls.
Michael Shayne, at that young age, or any age, I can’t believe you waited until you got home to cry. Was that due to the old theory that boys don’t cry?
No, DR Jane, "The Secret Garden" I got is on Varese Sarabande and is a world premiere recording with music by Sharon Burgett and lyrics by Burgett and Susan Beckwith-Smith and Diana Matterson.
My parents never encouraged that theory that boys don't cry.
Thanks RLP. I did a little research on this and definitely want it now. I still want a cast version of it, so question to all readers. Shall I get the original Broadway or London recording?
If you ever need any help keeping up, TCB, I'm your man. ;)
Because you are crying too much, or gagging? ;D
Hmmm, are you busy this weekend, td?
DR Michael Shayne: There is indeed a London Cast Recording of THE SECRET GARDEN - - the Lucy Simon/Marsha Norman one. . .Linzi Hateley is Martha. . . .

I must be truthful, I have been known to get teary eyed during a Hallmark commercial and TCB you didn't answer my question. :D
I have ABSOLUTely nothing on my plate this weekend, TCB.
I'll bet you could get a flight from Washington to Pennsylvania, TCB....
Are you kidding? I can't even afford a cross-town bus ticket.
